It was suggested last week that application of

 plain-vanilla diodes to the coils of relays and

 contactors was "so last century". I agree. The

 effects of energy stored on inductors has been

 studied for over two centuries. Circuit designers

 have both exploited the phenomenon as a benefit and

 struggled with them as a deleterious liability for

 about the same amount of time.



 I wrote this piece with some notion of putting

 a host of simple-ideas surrounding the inductive

 energy storage and potential for spikes due to

 rapid release into clearer perspective.
